@2556b6fe: Yes, research on LSD was made illegal in the United States in 1966, following the passage of the Controlled Substances Act. The act classified LSD as a Schedule I drug, which means that it is considered to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. This classification made it extremely difficult for researchers to obtain the necessary permits to study LSD, and as a result, research on the drug was largely halted for several decades. However, in recent years, there has been a renewed interest in studying the potential therapeutic uses of LSD, and some researchers have been able to obtain permits to conduct studies.
